Of course, MJ had the last word, but if you read her second interview it's clear that there were several visits, always with a staff member present at all times, and "no hanging about," which means leaving right after the show. They would be supervised at ALL TIMES as the risk of absconding would be very high. Apparently nobody ran for it, so all signs point to a brisk departure, and an equally brisk arrival, with the staffer right there with them.

Listen to Ward's interview when she says the bigwigs might not have known but the production staff might. All the more reason to disbelieve her claims re Glitter having sex with a gal in an alcove. The cops didn't believe her did they ?Rabbitawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07481932585279733096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7026409546307773708.post-76514786150035907532015-07-04T12:39:05.306+01:002015-07-04T12:39:05.306+01:00As we have seen though, the BBC seemed to quibble ...As we have seen though, the BBC seemed to quibble over paying even the most obviously justified expenses. Judging by the document here, they knew the money was for the girls and they had no problem with it. Maybe they were standard appearance fees, albeit it must have been unusual for the star of a show to hand the money out of his own pocket. Girls that young almost certainly wouldn't have had bank accounts in those days though, so perhaps it would have seemed less unusual for an adult to give them the cash and be reimbursed by cheque later.JohnSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7026409546307773708.post-80848527256647272182015-07-04T12:27:54.629+01:002015-07-04T12:27:54.629+01:00It was and is common to record more than one episo...It was and is common to record more than one episode of some TV studio programmes in one day. Some simple quiz shows might manage 5 or so episodes. <br />The BBC, in the days before independent productions took up most of its output, was a sausage factory. Any dead time with a studio or staff standing idle was to be avoided at all costs. Even the most prestigious, complex TV studio costume dramas of the time had a very limited time in a studio, sometimes a day an episode.<br />It wouldn't surprise me at all if a couple of episodes at a time were recorded of Clunk Click and/or Jim'll Fix It, especially as the most complex elements were pre-filmed and they would have merely been replayed to the studio audience to record their reaction and so they would know what was going on. <br />The stuff they were actually recording in the studio was pretty straightforward technically, would have required the bare minimum of retakes, and total somewhat less than the total running time of the show.JohnSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7026409546307773708.post-31612150992207870322015-07-04T12:26:04.674+01:002015-07-04T12:26:04.674+01:00Good point Moor and one I'll consider in my ne...Good point Moor and one I'll consider in my next post !!!Rabbitawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07481932585279733096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7026409546307773708.post-19140891312705955722015-07-04T09:13:07.497+01:002015-07-04T09:13:07.497+01:00"We know that the episode featuring GG was br..."We know that the episode featuring GG was broadcast on 16th March 1974 but we cannot be sure WHEN it was recorded. We KNOW that the then girls attended at least two of these shows. And we KNOW that expense payments were made to three girls PRIOR to 18th April 1974."<br /><br />Could it be that Duncroft School were only ever invited ONCE? I've always thought it a bit odd that the BBC would be inviting gals from the same school over and over again.<br /><br />Those of us who merely watch always imagine we are watching a tidied-up version of a contemporary event that resembled what we see. However, it's not hard to see that a day's filming schedule would be arranged with a number of different guests lined up. Segments would be filmed, seating moved around to create the illusion of differing audiences but in fact both Gary Glitter and Freddie Starr may well have been there at the same recording... 1pm: Gary .... 4pm: Freddie... etc.... <br /><br />In TV Virtual Reality they appear to be entirely separate but in fact it's all one day's filming. It's not hard to see that a little BBC research would have established that all these stories of "nights out" were complete balderdash and thus the authorities got cold feet when the tales they were later to trawl via the demonic UK Media looked equally fatuous.Moor Larkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05275057917684784541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7026409546307773708.post-10707233426257439922015-07-03T22:54:25.520+01:002015-07-03T22:54:25.520+01:00£10 in 1974 had the buying power of £100 today.
